Learning to read is a complex task for adult second language (L2) learners. In particular, reading non-alphabetic script can be a serious challenge for those with alphabetic backgrounds. While there are cross-linguistic effects, research suggests the existence of processes independent of such effects: readers develop L2-specific word recognition skills through building knowledge of L2 orthographic features. This book discusses development of L2 script-specific recognition ability among English-speaking learners of Japanese. By analysing results of behavioural tests and a verbal protocol administered to L2 readers of Japanese, the study investigated changes in developing L2 learners' kanji recognition skills and their awareness of structure and function of characters at different stages of L2 exposure. By identifying several critical skills and awareness through analysing the results, the book further discusses the possibility of enhancing character recognition ability with use of explicit instruction at critical points. The book should be useful both to researchers and teachers who deal with second language acquisition, and those interested in learning character-based languages.
